I'm new here

[Eudaimonist]

Hi, I'm an American citizen currently living and working in Sweden.

I'm a charter member of the Fellowship of Reason, which is a philosophical organization that caters to nontheists, and which advocates a nontheistic philosophical way of life that it calls Eudaimonism. Eudaimonism has its roots in Greek philosophy, in particular Aristotle, but also has modern influences, such as Ayn Rand, David Norton, Abraham Maslow, and others. In brief, Eudaimonism advocates the individual pursuit of personal flourishing and happiness by means of rationality. Personal excellence, self-actualization, self-esteem, friendship, and good will towards others are cherished values.

I hope to see you all around.

I'm glad to see you here!

I've just decided to use my full first name instead of my "James Bond" name. Less confusion this way. So...

I'm at GMT+1, a European timezone. That's EST+6, I think. At the time of this post, it is shortly after noon.
